“The debut season of “R&B Divas LA” set the tone as a series all about glamour and high-stakes drama,” said D’Angela Proctor, TV One’s SVP Programming and Production. “As we gear up to shoot season two, we anticipate that the addition of two lovely and respected solo artists, Chrisette and Leela, will build upon the impassioned, ever-evolving group dynamic that season one viewers embraced.”

The network announced that production for the popular reality series will begin this month with retuning stars Chanté Moore, Lil’ Mo, Michel’le and Claudette Ortiz. It’s scheduled to air around spring of 2014.
